Georgia's Attorney General Chris Carr said that he met at the White House with Pam Bondi and Vince Haley to discuss strategies to prevent "men out of women’s sports." He also mentioned that Georgia has contested President Biden's "nonsensical agenda" and emerged victorious. Carr made these remarks in a February 27 post on X.

"Great to join @AGPamBondi & @vincehaley at the White House today to discuss ways we can work together to keep men out of women's sports," said General Chris Carr. "We led this fight here in GA, challenging Biden's nonsensical agenda, & we won."

According to the Associated Press, Georgia lawmakers have advanced legislation that would bar transgender women from participating in women’s sports at both K-12 and college levels. This measure mirrors actions taken by several other Republican-led states. The bill mandates individuals to use changing areas, locker rooms, and sleeping quarters according to their sex assigned at birth. It passed the state Senate with a 35-17 vote, receiving support from two Democrats. The bill is part of a larger national initiative, with some legislators, including Senator Greg Dolezal, asserting it safeguards women’s sports from male advantage.

Carr previously submitted an amicus brief supporting a Tennessee-led lawsuit challenging the Biden-Harris administration's revised Title IX rule. This rule is being contested for allegedly weakening women’s sports and mandating shared bathroom use for males and females, as said in a press release by Carr.

"Whether it’s the Biden-Harris administration or the NCAA, we have continued to push back against all those intent on destroying women’s sports," said Carr in a press release. "We’re committed to protecting female athletes and will never stop fighting for women’s rights to fair competition."

Chris Carr was appointed as Georgia's attorney general by then-Governor Nathan Deal in 2016 and was re-elected in November 2022. Since assuming office, he has concentrated on issues such as human trafficking, gang activity, and opioid misuse. His efforts include establishing the state's first Human Trafficking Prosecution Unit and Gang Prosecution Unit. Carr served as the Commissioner of the Georgia Department of Economic Development under Governor Deal from November 2013 to November 2016.
